Anyhow, best of luck with the random unfortunate issues you've been having with the eBay BMW dealers! |

They're all trying to rob us in broad daylight There's a good indy shop near me, very good reviews on Google, taking it there.

It's here guys, I did a quick inspection and there is no damage or scratches, definitely a new exhaust. The indy shop is installing it on Tuesday

My friend (same friend who has the MPE) got the CF tips from China, turned out they needed to be cut and welded to bolt them on. |

I will. Hopefully no welding, the OEM tips just have some screws to put them on the exhaust pipes, they're getting delivered on Friday, I also have my black OEM tips that supposedly fit on MPE. I'll put the tips on before getting the exhaust installed.

Coming from personal experience, it is better to install the tips after the installation. You should test fit the tips, but the orientation may be off after you install the exhaust.

I thought they might align the exhaust accordingly if the tips were pre-installed? I also read sometimes it sags a bit and needs adjustment.

You may find the tips sitting too in or out after the install, just seems to be more uncertainty if the tips are installed beforehand. |

Basically to answer your question, the MPPK was part of the MPPSK. I believe for you, the MPE doesn't come with an ECU flash to slightly boost performance right? I did feel a little bit of performance gains, but it was mostly noticeable from a stop and at high speeds (~100 mph+). I actually prefer AW over BSM haha. I feel like carbon fiber is more noticeable/pops more on AW than it does on BSM! How are you liking the MPE now that you've gotten it installed? |

I can finally hear and feel the exhaust on my car, I never heard the burbles inside the cabin before but now I can! Cold start is also much louder and overall the sound is more racier than stock sound. I like it a lot, it'll get better as it breaks in. I was thinking of getting MPPK also but $1400+$400(install) doesn't really feel right for just 35hp gain, I also read the gain isn't very noticeable. I'll get a tune down the road as right now I've about 3 years of warranty left. |
